Arsenal vs Manchester City: What Premier League table looks like as pulsating title race goes to the wire
The Premier League title race looks set to go down the wire as Arsenal and Manchester City are close to each other on the table.

However, despite reclaiming the top spot, Arsenal’s fate is out of their hands. The Gunners currently lead Pep Guardiola’s men by one point but have played a game more than champions, with one match left.

There will be a big transition — Van Dijk opens up on Liverpool future after Klopp
Liverpool defender Virgil Van Dijk has opened up on his future at the club ahead of the departure of manager Jurgen Klopp.
Ange Postecoglou’s men currently sit in fifth place, four points behind Unai Emery’s men in fourth place.
However, while Spurs still have a chance of qualifying for Europe’s elite competition next season, they need Liverpool to get a result on Monday night ahead of their clash against City on Tuesday.
Should Liverpool lose at Villa Park on Monday night, Spurs’ Champions League dream will automatically die as they will be seven points behind Villa with just two games left.
As a result, they may lack motivation to get a result against Manchester City, which the Gunners do not want.
